Description
A collection of sterling silver and costume jewellery, presented as a group of various necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The primary item is a costume collar necklace featuring a bib section of articulated floral and foliate clusters set with colorless faceted paste stones. This piece is accompanied by two paper labels; one reads Super Quality French Stones AND Sterling Silver Chain, and the second states This Jewel contains BLACK DIAMOND FRENCH STONES. The necklace is fitted with a fine cable chain and a bolt ring clasp.
The lot includes three silver-toned necklaces: one suspended with a colorless glass orb pendant, one with a stylized starfish pendant, and one featuring a marcasite-set foliate pendant. Also included is an assortment of wristwear consisting of three circular bangles: a polished plain band, a torque-style twisted wire band, and a textured band. A silver-toned ring set with a circular marcasite cluster and a pair of fluid, abstract drop earrings are also present.
A boxed item contains a small commemorative pin or service badge, featuring the number 10 within a laurel wreath border. The interior of the presentation box lid features a printed label transcribing the hallmarks: a rectangular punch with the letters MAE, an anchor symbol for the Birmingham assay office, a lion passant denoting sterling silver fineness, and a date letter Z.
